Antenna and SIM card installation：
IP MODEM antenna interface is for IPEX connector. Buckle the IPEX male head of the
antenna to the antenna interface of IP MODEM, and make sure that the connection is good,
so as not to affect the signal quality.
When the SIM card is installed or removed, follow the icon on the device that indicate
the direction of installation, make sure the SIM card's metal interface is facing down so
that it is in full contact with the socket and be fastened.
2.4 Power introduction
Usually, IP MODEM was embedded to the mainboard of the device. In order to adapt
to the complex application environment and improve the stability of the system, IP
MODEM adopts advanced power technology. It can use DC 3.6-9V to power IP MODEM
directly.5VDC/200mA is recommended.. When power IP MODEM , must ensure power
stability.（Ripple is less than 100mV, and make sure instantaneous voltage does not
exceed 12V), and ensure that the power supply is greater than 1W.
2.5 Indicator
IP MODEM provides four indicators, definition showing as below：Power,Module,
Status,SIM

After this step, click”Confirm”，upon successful login, the user will have the appropriate
level of permissions, system parameters can be set within this permission, showing as below:
If you do not log in at the beginning, you can click “Cancel”, and then you can click the
login button to log in at any time. After logging in, the original login button becomes log out,
and users can also click log out to cancel their login.
(Note: The initial administrator user name is adm , and password is 123456, the initial
normal user username is guest and the password is 123456. User names and passwords are
case sensitive.)
The interface is described as follows:
1、Parameters such as serial port, baud rate and parity bit can be selected in the
"overall control" option of the interface. The configuration software has the function of
automatically identifying the available serial ports of the current PC, these serial ports are
listed in the “select serial port “ (Please be patient when you click this item because it is slow
to automatically identify the currently available serial port), please select the serial port that
was connected to F2X14-E, and chose right parameter which be used. Check the "auto"
option, configuration software can automatically detect the parameters that match the
communication.
2、After chosing right serial port, click “Download configuration”、“Read configuration”
